Taxanes May Increase Risk for Significant Psychological Symptoms

kavin submitted, created time 1 week 40 minutes (www.medscape.com)

Taxane-based chemotherapies are increasingly used for the adjuvant treatment of early and locally advanced breast cancer, but new research suggests that they confer a risk for significant psychologic symptoms. According to a study published in the August 1 issue of Cancer, patients who received taxane-based therapy had significantly worse emotional distress and slower psychologic recovery than those receiving a similar regimen without taxanes.

The researchers also observed high rates of probable clinical depression among patients who received taxane therapy

Cancer's Unwelcome Return

A new study in lab mice suggests that cells may break off from a tumor even before they become cancerous, seeding the body with cells that evade detection and lie dormant for years before turning into tumors of their own.

When good cells turn bad

Non-cancerous mammary cells in mice can take up residence in the lungs and later form tumors. This chance of residence, called metastasis, had previously been thought nearly impossible for ordinary, healthy cells.

Embryonic stem cells answer questions about breast cancer

Mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes dramatically increase a woman's risk of breast cancer, and some women consider genetic screening in the hopes of earlier detection and treatment. Commercial tests can detect common variants associated with risk, but many mutations are unclassified

Mutation Spells Bad News for Breast Cancer Patients

Breast cancer patients with a mutation in both copies of the NQO1 gene have a 20% lower survival rate five years after treatment than do patients without the mutation, according to a new study of more than 2000 Finnish women.

The relationship between low levels of vitamin D and breast cancer

The study shows us that women with breast cancer who have a vitamin D deficiency at the time of diagnosis are more likely to have a recurrence or to die from their disease. This study found that vitamin D deficiency is very common among women with breast cancer, and it suggests that vitamin D deficiency is linked to poorer outcomes in these women

Breast Tumor Cells Have This Molecular Characterization

A detailed understanding of the assortment of genes that are expressed in breast tumor vessels is needed to facilitate the development of novel, molecularly targeted anti-angiogenic agents for breast cancer therapies.
This research found Of the 1176 genes that were differentially expressed between tumor and normal vascular cells, 55 had a greater than fourfold increase in expression level

Autoantibodies ---- Potential Biomarkers for Breast Cancer

For breast cancer, serum autoantibody profiling is a promising approach for early detection and diagnosis.

Combined measurements of anti-ASB-9, SERAC1, and RELT showed themselves to be more predictive of disease than any of the single antibodies studied, underscoring the importance of identifying multiple potential markers.

A natural therapeutic agent for breast cancer

The flavone eupatorin, found in certain plants and used in folk medicine, selectively inhibits the growth of breast carcinoma cells through CYP1 family mediated metabolism, making it a potential chemopreventative candidate.

Protein test predicts invasive breast cancer

sea-maid submitted, created time 4 months 1 week (www.newscientist.com)

Cancer is one of the world’s biggest killers. Only have we known more about the principal of the breast cancer, we can create more useful methods to prevent the diseaes. Now, a team at the University of California has developed a test that can determine whether or not a woman's tumor will turn invasive--and whether or not she should go through with surgery.

Toxicity is the question: Bisphenol-A on trial in Canada

Darkfrog submitted, created time 4 months 3 weeks (www.nytimes.com)

Bisphenol-a is a molecule found in many common rigid plastics. It also acts as an estrogen mimic in many different types of animals, including humans, causing or potentially causing lowered sperm count, increased risk of breask cancer, infertility in men and both toxic and neurotoxic effects. The Canadian government is preparing to label bisphenol-a as "toxic," and thereby forbidding it to be used in plastics that are meant to contain food or drink, such as baby bottles, water bottles and the linings of cans

Catch cancer with a knowing hand

When it comes to detecting cancer, a visit to your doctor is always the most effective option, but a knowing hand doesn't hurt. While there is no evidence that self-examinations of breasts and genitals leads to earlier detection of cancer, an awareness of what is normal for each individual can help a patient notice when something changes, said Dr Durado Brooks, the American Cancer Society's prostate and colorectal cancer director.

Breast cancer gene carriers’ risk ‘amplified’ by additional genes

According a new research, many women with a faulty breast cancer gene could be at greater risk of the disease due to extra, risk-amplifying genes.

A protein that makes breast cancer spread

jane2007 submitted, created time 5 months 3 weeks (www.nature.com)

A protein that determines whether breast cancer will spread and become deadly has been found. Monitoring for the protein could help patients to know how dangerous their cancer is before it spreads elsewhere and help them to decide which treatment to chose.
